...which you’ve blandly titled The Social Network—is going to be a big hit. After all, you got Aaron Sorkin to write it. Insiders are apparently raving about it. You’re talking to Justin Timberlake about playing Napster founder Sean Parker.  But we at FlyBy just got a hold of the script, and frankly…well, we’ll tell you what we thought after the jump...

...assumed I became one of the 200 most popular people on twitter due to my Dorothy Parker-level quipping. Stuff like "Every Bastille Day I think the same sad thought: "I have never stormed anything" and "World music makes me not want to travel." But it turns out that Twitter provides a suggestion list of people to follow when you sign up, and they put me on the list. Due, no doubt, to my Dorothy-Parker level quipping.
